Here are some things that might be useful to keep in your car.
Ideas for your Car
The car is something you can keep organized, and I like to keep a lot of extra stuff in there because when you're out and about you never know when you might need it!
Glovebox
- All insurance docs etc - obvious.
- Pens and paper - very handy - I like to tether my pen so I can't lose it.
- Sunscreen - "trust me on the sunscreen".
- Bug spray - if you have mosquitos in your area.
- Spare sunglasses - essential.
- Fuel book - if you like torturing yourself, my mum kept one... it's embarrassing I mentioned this!
Car door
- Toiletry set - I'm strange, but I like to brush my teeth in my car... hrmmm.
- Deoderant - well everyone can agree this is useful.
- Breath mints - to impress... maybe you want a Colongne too.
- Multi-tool - everyone loves a multitool!
- Breathalyzer - for moment when unsure
- Maps and street directory - if you are an old-school grandpa, new cars all have screens and maps etc.
Back seat
- Water bottles - I keep one big bottle in the back seat and extra water in the boot
- Torch - in case of exciting emergency or when you lose stuff in the dark
- First aid kit - EVERY car should have one.
- Water - Have some big gallon water jugs under the seat or in your boot (trunk).
Car boot
- Spare belt - a belt is an easy thing to forget, but I also like to keep spare shoes and a nice shirt in case I'm asked to go out (clubs in Brisbane are pretty strict with dress codes)
- Swimmer, towels and change of clothes - came in handy when I lived in Cairns, although I've never used them in Brisbane I must admit.
- Spare green bags - go the green bags!
- Roadside kit - jumper cables etc (like this one)... or the EV equivalent.
- Toilet paper roll - may want to keep in a waterproof/hiking cover (try here).
